- Re:The Coffee Party???? –
I LOVE the fact that it took the Obamatons, along with their like-minded oppressive and regressive allies, the better part of a year to come up with this “Coffee Party” schtick.
This bodes well for the libertarian movement and its conservative fellow travelers, in my opinion. It shows that we’ve got the better ideas, and can adapt faster to changing circumstances.
- Re: How Much does New Mexico spend on prisons vs universities –
The rule of law is only as good as those that are enforcing it, the men in black who view themselves as honorable and depend on campaign contributions as do the elected body of any state, pander to the prison industry.
Just wanted to add that those who make the laws must also be honorable, otherwise we have thousands of people in prison for victimless crimes. For example, how many are incarcerated due to Prohibition Part II, otherwise known as the War on Drugs?
- Re: How Much does New Mexico spend on prisons vs universities –
how much does New Mexico spend collectively on prisons and universities?
Whatever the numbers, it’s probably too much being spent on both. Don’t forget that the budget and spending books are most likely cooked, both at the Santa Fe end and at the individual prisons and universities.
Ask Gordon Bennett what happened to the Ø560,000 donated to CNM’s Photonics program by Intel and Schott Solar while he was the chair of that program in 2008.
- Re: We Have a Public Option Already –
Apparently, that’s just not good enough for the oppressives and regressives in the Obama Administration.
Remember back in 1998, as Governor Johnson was running for re-election with Slick Marty Chavez as his opponent? Slick complained that Johnson wasn’t enrolling as many people as were eligible into the system.

Liz, gonna have to wait for Option 2 where Martin Heinrich, my geographical “representative,” is concerned — he campaigned in 2008 on supporting this sort of thing, he’s been an advocate of this crap long before being elected to the ABQ City Council in 2002. So unless Jon Barela, the GOP candidate for this spot, wins in November AND turns out to be better on the issues than Heinrich . . . keep your powder dry and check six.
- Re: Chip My Trash –
How do they know if you just flat-out refuse to recycle anything? Do they break open your trash bags at some point and look for something that can identify you? Remember, they’re insisting that you do this without any sort of compensation — if they want to make it mandatory, that’s involuntary servitude, and thus a violation of the Thirteenth Amendment, last time I checked.
Also remember that after you’ve been generous enough to waste spend your valuable time sorting the recycleables and walking them to the curb, they’ll pick them up (at your expense, via legalized theft taxation) most likely hand them over to a for-profit company for the actual recycling task. How much of the profit made by that corporation from your trash will you ever see in your wallet?
If they really want people to do this, the recycling mavens will make it so that everyone involved, including you the residents, can get a piece of the profit.
If that’s too much trouble, then just throw it — it still gets recycled; it just takes a little longer, that’s all.
EARTH FIRST! Strip-mine the other planets later.
